Bio

I'm from Raleigh, NC and went on to earn a double major in Mechanical Engineering and Business with a concentration in Entrepreneurship from MIT. I was a 4-year starter on the Men's Basketball Team where I hold the career 3-point record. I was a screenprinter all through high school and am extremely passionate about the custom apparel industry. I was an EPM at Tesla and co-founder of Opdefi before starting DGI.
